I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving the rotation centre about to the different corners. Grouping and duplicating and ungrouping. A lot of time to explain. If you need absolute accurate tangents then you are best served by using CAD software or some other Graphic software which offers this ability. Also a note that the "circles" in the Affinity suite are parametric approximations, meaning they are not actual circles.
